Law Of Attraction Myth Series:
Positive Thinking
Positive thinking is advocated in most law of attraction circles. However, positive thinking needs to be used very carefully if you want to truly manifest your goals. Here is some valuable information below.
1. Positive thinking needs to be controlled and should not be haphazard
Positive thinking on its own will do little unless it is fully controlled and done in a conscious way. Some pointers:
a) Controlling your thoughts needs to happen first before you stand a chance of manifesting. Work on controlling your mind and directing it in the way you want, and you will find it easier to manifest
b) Make sure you are living in the moment. With positive thinking, you may find yourself subtly thinking about the past or future. However, your true power lies in living in the moment. When you live in the moment, you invest maximum mental energies in the here and now, and get your returns in the here and now. This is the law.
2. Positive thinking must not replace authenticity
Positive thinking is important for making you feel motivated and energised for your goals. However, it should never replace authenticity. You must be authentic at all times if you wish to maximise the progress to your goals.
a) Make sure you accept the situation are in to begin with. Acceptance is the first stage towards changing your life
b) After acceptance, then you can think positive thoughts of where you want to go. If you have no acceptance of your present situation, you are simply "dreaming" positive thoughts. So, make sure your positive thinking comes from a state of acceptance of the here and now to begin with.
3. Positive thinking needs to be a solid habit
You need to always be thinking positive thoughts if you wish to achieve maximum progress to your goals. As you continue to think positively, you will re-wire your neurons to automatically move you closer to the things you want.
a) You need to analyse your life and see how much of your time is spent with the wrong thinking. Change your thinking from negative to positive and make a solid habit of doing this.
b) You need to associate with positive thinkers. Being positive on your own will have limited value, because the people you associate with, will determine how you think. You must associate with positive people if you want to get positive results.
What To Expect/Conclusion
Positive thinking has some pitfalls and you need to be aware of this. You need to ensure you are authentic and have a full acceptance of your present situation first, and then you can think positively. If you are simply ignoring your present situation completely, you are detached from authenticity and your true core personal power. You must accept your situation and then be positive, in a controlled manner. You also need to associate with positive people so their influence rubs off on you.
